The disposition to await the action or Congress
upon the interstate commerce bill still keeps Op-
perators out of the stock market which remains
duh and almost devoid OF feature There was
some little inclination 10 buy shown to-day, aud
for the greater part of the time prices remained
firm to strong, although fluctuations in the great
majority OF cases were confined within narrow
limits. The coal stocks, especially Jersey
Central and Reading, Richmond and
West Point and Western Union
were the special feature OF the day. The mystic
rious movement in Jersey Central still continues
an enigma to the street, and the stock to-day
made further material progress in the upward
movement and remained steady when the rest OF
the list was heavy. The other stocks followed the
course Of the general market being firm to strong
during the forenoon, but yielding later. The
market opened somewhat irregular but generally
strong. Lake Shore was the conspicuous stock
with an advance of = per cent. There was
moderate business in the first few minutes in
which Jersey Central and West Point were con-
spicuous. Prices were strong, especially for Jer-
sey Central and Peoria, Decatur and Evansville.
The activity soon died away but the advance in
then intensified and prices ssgged Of slowly I'M
Ill The close, which was dull and heavy, gener-
ally small fractions above the opening.
The general list is higher this evening with
very few exceptions, chief among which are
Cameron Coal, which lost ia and Richmond ami
West Point per cent. Jersey central is up -.
Peoria, Decatur and Evansville 12s Lake Shore l
per cent
Railroad bonds were moderately active, aud
prices generally followed the course Of the share
market being firm in the forenoon and ssggingOf
toward the close. Final prices are generally higher

frsts contributed sl2l,OOO and Lake Ere and
Western incomes s1O1, 600. The latter bonds still
continue TO be the feature of the market upon the
bright prospects under the reorganization. Lake

sandusky division incomes at 80; the Lafayette,
Bloomington and Muncie incomes % at S2115, and
